This week, Semion Mazor and Cecile Kellam join us to discuss the new addition to BlueXP Cloud Backup - FlexGroup volumes! Now you can backup, index and restore your high file count environments at a better speed, efficiency and simplify restores with search functionality.

Episode 354 - FlexGroup Volumes and BlueXP Cloud Backup

If you love data and data context formats for exchanging data, you will love this conversation. 

Today’s episode is a deep conversation about the potential ability to define ways in which we produce, store and share data, providing context using markup languages, and then being able to extend that. It’s a fascinating conversation about how much we could improve our use of data if we were able to provide more context about who wanted to see it and what relevance it had. 

We also have some interesting conversations about data migration and how we share information.

ROI from Putting Data In Context

Data comes from many different places, sources, and ways. Some data we call dark data, which is data not accessible to you, and all of it relevant. Today we talk about metadata as part of the governance control management exposure of data. 

An important layer beyond the data itself is the governance intent, how people access it, and how you combine data. We discuss exactly what that is, but still only touch the surface.

Meta Data, Dark Data and Intent

When I was a kid, my room was often a mess. Clothes on the floor, toys everywhere. My mom would try to stay on me to keep it clean, but it was mostly a losing battle for her. What usually inspired me to clean up, however, was when I couldn't find something. Then I knew it was time to take inventory and get a bit more organized (for the time being, at least).

Data management isn't much different - especially with large unstructured data lakes. Not only are there potentially millions - or billions - of files, but much of that data is redundant, unnecessary or obsolete. The problem is, if you haven't been keeping your data sets clean, you are now stuck with the arduous task of finding out what is in your data.

This week on the podcast, Cecile Kellam and Michael Landau join me to discuss how Cloud Data Sense can quickly and easily help you find out what is in your data, with the end goal of tidying up your messy data sets.

Episode 357 - Cloud Data Sense Data Governance and Compliance

Did you know that Google created Tensorflow and Kubernetes?

Or that Solaris invented NFS? That Amazon created S3?

Or that Uber created Apache Spark Horovod?

Some of the key technologies that companies use today were originally created by businesses trying to solve their own internal challenges.

In this episode of the Tech ONTAP Podcast, NetApp TME Rick Huang and Solutions Architect Ken Hillier join us to discuss Rick's new blog on using NetApp AI with Apache Spark Horovod for deep learning and inference use cases.

Episode 360: NetApp AI and Nvidia with Apache Spark Horovod

Every time we look at data analytics and data systems, the idea of having a way to manage control and explain the data is actually as important as the data itself. This episode is all about metadata, specifically, metadata related to data analytics analysis, Big Data computation, sort of the data lake metadata problem.

Today we discuss the challenges of data management, but also the potential of understanding so much more about how data is used. If you are an IT professional or a data professional, you will find this conversation about how we're going to draw inferences, manage and control all of that data that were collected fascinating.

Metadata Architecture

"But today, the clouds are the new silos. They're like the silos in the data centre, only they're public. But AWS is a bit of a data silo, as is Azure. We used to call it Hotel California - you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. Right? A big part of what Snowflake does is tear down those silos to allow customers to have the data where they want it. Because if it's on Snowflake, it doesn't matter which physical infrastructure is behind it; and to share that data easily around the world, that's a major change in the whole kind of cloud-silo infrastructure problem that we're facing today.” - Jon Robertson  

Fresh out of the studio, Jon Robertson, President of Asia Pacific and Japan for Snowflake discussed the company's global vision &amp; mission and their current expansion into the Asia Pacific and Japan region. Jon discussed the customer stories and how Snowflake's cloud data platform facilitates diverse workloads, from artificial intelligence to cybersecurity. Continuing the conversation, he explored the evolving trends in the data and AI landscape, amplified by notable advances such as ChatGPT and where it is heading. Last but not least, he shared what great would look like for Snowflake in the Asia Pacific region for the next 3-5 years. 

Podcast Information: The show is hosted and produced by Bernard Leong and Carol Yin. Proper credits for the intro and end music: "Energetic Sports Drive" and the episode is mixed & edited in both video and audio format by Thomas G Craig.
